Bubba the Love Sponge has reclaimed the top spot in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater radio ratings after making his return to the area's airwaves in January.

Bubba is number one with adults 12+ (9.5 share), with adults 18-34 (18.4 share), with adults 25-54 (14 share), with men 18-34 (26.9 share), and with men 25-54 (20.8 share).

Bubba is laughing all the way to the bank. He might play the role of a stupid redneck on the radio but in reality he has an MBA from Wharton School of Business whatever the hell that is. Supposedly he's really book smart and could teach college if he chose.
